FLOTATION/LIFE RAFT
A. UNDERARM LIFE PRESERVERS
1. I~PU-3P preservers attached to the parachute harness
a,nd located under both arms are worn on all overwater
flights.
2. Activation requires pulling a lanyard on each packet
t;o inflate both sides of the LPU. This would be
atone during parachute descent (i.e. below 15,000 ft.)
B. UNDEF~SUIT FLOTATION GARMENT
1. 7'he undersuit flotation garments were recently modified
s~o the actuating lanyard is centrally located on the
front of the coverall and accessible with either hand.
2. This flotation garment is used as a backup for the
I~PUYS and generally would not be inflated until
desired in the water (after loosening parachute chest
~~trap, getting out of parachute, or boarding the
life raft) .
C. LIFE RAFT
1. 7'he new open-ended life raft is carried in the seat
k:it on all overwater flights.
2. ]:t is automatically inflated when the seat kit is re-
]_eased prior to water entry.
3. 7'he sequence of fife raft boarding is shown in the
attached photographs numbers 1 through 5. Also the
use of the flotation devices is seen in these
Ihotographs.
